Nutrition Support for PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women. While it can feel overwhelming, the good news is that nutrition and lifestyle changes can make a powerful difference.

At Refined Wellness Nutrition, I provide personalized support to help women with PCOS take control of their health, improve symptoms, and feel empowered in their daily lives.

What is PCOS?

PCOS is a hormonal condition that may cause:

Irregular cycles
Acne or excess hair growth
Difficulty losing weight
Fertility challenges

Because PCOS is often linked with insulin resistance, it can increase the risk for diabetes and heart disease if not managed.

How Nutrition Can Help

Nutrition counseling goes beyond calories or diets. Together, we’ll focus on:

Balanced meals to support blood sugar and energy
Movement you enjoy that reduces stress on your body
Stress and sleep support to balance hormones
Realistic lifestyle changes that feel sustainable

Why PCOS Weight Loss Can Feel Harder

Many providers encourage women with PCOS to aim for a 5% weight loss, since even small changes can improve cycles, hormone balance, and insulin sensitivity.

However, research shows that losing weight with PCOS can be much harder due to hormonal and metabolic changes. This means that while weight loss can be helpful, it often feels frustrating and discouraging when results don’t come as quickly as expected.

Some providers also prescribe GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide or liraglutide) to help improve blood sugar control and support weight loss.

If you are taking or considering a GLP-1, nutrition counseling ensures that you:

Build balanced meals that make the medication more effective
Protect muscle mass and energy while losing weight
Learn sustainable strategies you can maintain long-term

Supplements for PCOS

In addition to nutrition and medications, supplements can sometimes provide added support. It may be helpful to discuss these with your doctor:

Inositol – supports insulin sensitivity and regular cycles
Vitamin D – important for hormone health and immunity
Omega-3s – help reduce inflammation
Other targeted options based on your symptoms and labs

If you’re looking for an inositol supplement, here’s a great option I often recommend. I have a discount code available for you. You can access it here and use code RWNUTR at checkout

It is always best practice so consult your doctor before starting any new supplementation.
